It helps with virtual scouting by displaying game management units, big-game concentration zones, public land boundaries, state wildlife areas, and access points—all layered over topographic or satellite maps. Hunters can search by GMU, place name, or coordinates, generate printable maps, and customize routes and waypoints for optimal planning.
